The Arizona Cardinals lost their second preseason game 21-13 Saturday night to the Indianapolis Colts. They played without a lot of players.
In all, 28 Cardinals players did not play, either because they are starter, expected key contributors or because they have barely been with the team.
These were the players who sat out Saturday night.
- QB Kyler Murray
- RB James Conner
- RB Hassan Hall
- WR Marvin Harrison Jr.
- WR Michael Wilson
- WR Greg Dortch
- WR Zay Jones
- WR Daylen Baldwin
- TE Trey McBride
- TE Elijah Higgins
- OL Paris Johnson
- OL Evan Brown
- OL Hjalte Froholdt
- OL Will Hernandez
- OL Jonah Williams
- DL Justin Jones
- DL Bilal Nichols
- DL Darius Robinson
- DL Roy Lopez
- ILB Mack Wilson
- ILB Kyzir White
- OLB Zaven Collins
- OLB Dennis Gardeck
- CB Sean Murphy-Bunting
- CB Garrett Williams
- CB Delonte Hood
- S Budda Baker
- S Jalen Thompson
Hall, Hood and Baldwin have all been signed in the last two weeks.
Robinson, Higgins and Jones won’t technically be starters but are clear parts of the offensive and defensive rotation. Their roles are secured.
With the preseason finale next Sunday, expect the same sort of participation, only that Hall, Hood and Baldwin might play, depending on who else has secured their role.
